Pumpkin Glitz & Glitter

Are you looking for a quick, easy way to give your pumpkins a little glitz? I was at Hobby Lobby this week, and saw these beautiful crystal appliques used for scrapbooking. I couldn't pass them up, because I've been trying to decide how to decorate my white fake pumpkin that I also bought at Hobby Lobby.

It was so quick and easy to do. You just have to be very careful removing the decal from the paper. Very slow and easy does the trick.

Because I wasn't crazy about the stem on this pumpkin, I painted it a darker brown and added the bow.

I love it! I just wish all of my projects were that quick and easy.

They also had these cute little owls. There was two in a package. So I added one to a very small pumpkin.

How cute is that?

I put the second one on the outside of a cloche cover. I love how it looks when the candle is on.

Have you been doing any fall decorating this week? I have so much more fall decor to share with you! Last week was crazy busy, but I'm working on getting all my posts done. Have a wonderful week!

Oh, I love your pretty pumpkin! I've been trying to find a white one to decorate...no luck, yet :( You should share yours at the Primp Your Pumpkin party. Yours would be PERFECT for it! There are 3 host blogs and they just extended the length of the party. Here is the link:http://www.foxhollowcottage.com/2012/09/primp-your-pumpkin-pumpkin-themed-link.html

I'm hoping I find a pumpkin soon so I can link up too! Have a good Sunday :)

Love the glittery pumpkin. I am doing a lot of "research" on pumpkins lately and yours are a major inspiration. Thanks for sharing, I visited from@twigg studios. Visit me @landedinportugal.wordpress.com Love N

That is the most gorgeous "blitzed-out" pumpkin I've ever seen! What a fantastic idea, Kathy! The owl appliqués are very cute, too. I've been a Fall-Decorating Fool around here! Gotta have the Fall look inside because it's still quite warm here in the AZ desert!

Oh, thank you! I just saw those and knew it's what I've been waiting on for that white pumpkin. :) I'm trying to get all my fall organized. I have a mess at the moment, but I'm working on it. We are still having some pretty warm days in LA, too! Thank you so much for visiting. Have a great week. HUGS

What a sweet idea, Kathy! I had no idea that those little jewels came all together as a 1-piece item like that --- instead of having to glue each one on separately. lol! Love the look of it! :) A shabby chic pumpkin!

I have looked at a lot of these white pumpkins but this is the first I have loved!!! The decorating you have done is MY STYLE!!! Very classy!!! ty for sharing...Oh and the whole arrangement is stunning!!!

We seem to have a shortage of white pumpkins in our area. This is just so darn beautiful that I must make some..Maybe I could paint an orange one. I'm sure the paint would not hold well, guess i should keep on looking..even if I use a fake pumpkin..I have seen the orange pumpkins with black tacks done on this idea, but not nearly as creative. Very nice..

Thank you so much! This is actually a fake pumpkin, but I didn't really like the color of the white. So I just gave it 2 coats of paint. You could even paint an orange one, it just may take a few coats of paint. LOLGood luck finding one. Thank you so much for stopping by. :)

What a glam pumpkin--the Zsa Zsa Gabor of pumpkins(!)--this is a great idea, Kathy! I've been doing a bunch of autumn decorating too, and we're making and switching out some furniture pieces in the living and dining rooms--can't wait til it's all done!

WOW so Beautiful Kathy!!! Would love it if you came by and shared it at One More Time... http://www.onemoretimeevents.com/2012/09/one-more-time-link-party-and-features.htmlLove the vignette you created with it...Stunning

So happy you linked this up yesterday!! I'm featuring you today on The Tuesday Ten! Would love for you to stop by if you get a chance! http://www.ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com/2012/09/the-tuesday-ten-with-lowes-card-give.html

Sooo pretty Kathy! I always see those embellishments but I never know what to do with them! Now, I know thanks to you :-) Thank you for sharing this at my party this week. I will be featuring this post on my Facebook page ♥

WOW! Your white pumpkin is stunning! Whenever I was at one of the link-ups, your pumpkin was the one picture that really stood out to me. You did a beautiful job and it's a nice change from the orange pumpkins :) Anyway, I have become a follower and I look forward to your future posts.

With so many comments I'm sure mine will just be a repeat!Beautiful, gorgeous, elegant and best use of scrapbooking supplies I've seen. White pumpkins will never be the same as I'm sure we will see this idea popping up all over blogland.

Kathy,I love your pumpkin. It looks like the pumpkin that Cinderella would have gone to the ball in. Have a great week. I hope you'll link this weeks party starting today. Have a great day.Debi @ Adorned From Abovewww.adornedfromabove.com

I am so conflicted! I love natural, orange pumpkins but your white gilded pumpkin is so fanciful and looks gorgeous with your other fall decor....now what will I do, lol? Your photos are very inspiring. Thanks for sharing you fun (and easy) project!

Oh, thank you so much! I have always had the orange pumpkins, too! I decided to add the white one. The white really does display pretty in the house. So I have some of both. LOL Thank you so much for your sweet comment, and for stopping by. Can't wait to see what you decide!! :)

Your White Pumpkins is Gorgeous! It resembles Mendhi Art and I just Love it because it has the Essence of Boheme'... there's a Hobby Lobby nearby so I think this will be a Project I'd Enjoy and wouldn't consume a lot of time.

Absolutely wonderful! I've seen some pumpkins done up with rhinestones, but I think yours are my favorites so far. The first one has such a Cinderella-ish vibe, and the owls are just adorable. Love the blinged up cloche, as well!
